Reception and porte cochère

BLS’s electrical package covered reception, the lift lobby and porte cochère as an Aquaheat subcontractor. These connected arrival and circulation spaces form part of the wider Rydges / QT refurbishment.

Feature lighting, joinery and ceiling layouts had to work together within the existing hotel spaces.
